TIA's Pilgrimages   Many Catholics are unaware that America has a Queen. Largely unknown and almost forgotten, she is nonetheless majestic, and from her throne in Carmel Mission she waits for her children to come to her, promising them her goodness and graces. This year more than 120 pilgrims came from California, Texas and Louisiana to honor Our Lady of Bethlehem, the beautiful life-size statue that came with Fr. Serra on the Holy Expedition of 1769 to conquer the West Coast for God and Spain.
